nobody cares if you find paypal a bit inconvenient...I am from serbia and I had to jump through hoops to get a business account verified with Paypal...since then my sales have increased 30-40% and on days when paypal does not work or over scrubs for reasons unclear, I feel the daily drop in sales....I do 30-40 sales/day so I have significant data to meter by...I have multiple companies that compete with my own companies, just to split test approaches in marketing and user experience...I have tried everything under the sun simple because I have gimps to order my will in to existence...I have not only experimented with stuff like which specific payment processors work the best for me but also which combination yields the best return because I have sufficient data to do these measurements...

integrate paypal in to what ever mainstream business you have ALONG with what ever pissant tiny volume ass processor you are using and watch your sales grow...or dont and sulk and leave money on the table
Yes, millions of Zlotols or Hrivni or Yilgools or whatever your currency is called. I could have 20 Serbian employees too if I wanted to pay $600 a month, but why would I do that? Friend, what mainstream processing company works there? Of course you are desperate to pay Paypal's exorbitant rates - Stripe doesn't work there. That must hurt, Stripe works in Latvia and Lithuania, but, ouch, not in Serbia.

I just looked it up, it is the "Serbian Dinar", I grew a small scraggly moustache just from saying "Serbian Dinar". By the way you need to say Serbian Dinar to distinguish from the much better known Iraqi Dinar. Authorize.net doesn't work there either, and they certainly don't process "Serbian Dinars". 100 Serbian Dinars = .01$ so million is 10,000, that sounds about right.
